I read that thing about Kiefer a while ago too,
and it never
ceases to amuse me. Of course I can no longer tell
the difference
between Kiefer and Jack, and in my mind it's Jack
Bauer who's doing
the drunken tree jumping. "Cover me!" I can just
picture him yelling
and Tony Almeda would could out of nowhere and turn
his gun on the
tree. And then it would turn out that Nina had
really set up the
tree. And then the hour would be over. Man, oh
man, I should write
for 24.
Also, I am watching the new season, and I'm in the
middle of TiVoing
the last season on A&E. I'm getting caught up Leah,
I swear. We can
talk about 24 again! Really.

You should definitely be a 24 writer! What do you
think about First Lady Logan on the new season? I love
her, crazy people are awesome. President Logan is a
whiny bitch though. I wish it would have been him who
got shot in the neck.

Totally. President Logan is all, "This is supposed
to be MY day!
Don't let anything ruin this for ME!" Dude, if
you're gonna be the
leader of the free world you need to learn some
compromise.
Also, it's nice that we know the mole (at least one
of them) early
on. However, I'm always curious how these people
come to be moles.
Were they always evil and just got into this line of
work? Or were
they good, but then evil guys got to them and
offered them lots of
money. Usually if you're hanging out with the
President 24/7 you'd
think you wouldn't have any terrorist associations.
Maybe that's
just me. Call me old-fashion.
And my favorite Jack line so far: "The only reason
you're still
conscious is because I don't want to carry you!"
Jack is so awesome. Too bad he wrestles Christmas
Trees on the side.

Yeah, what the fuck is this "MY DAY" business?
President Logan has been watching too much of "My
Super Sweet 16"... I've only seen about half of one
episode of that drivel but it was enough to make me
puke in my mouth a little bit.
I think the fact that Jack/Kiefer is a part-time tree
wrestler makes him even more awesome! He seems to be a
raging alcoholic, yet he still manages to save the
world week after week. I hope they let him eat lunch
and/or take a shit this season. My brother-in-law Greg
& I were recently discussing how great it would be if
they start slipping in scenes of Jack squatting in the
corner behind some cube in CTU. He's got human needs,
after all. But he's too intense to waste a second by
going into a bathroom stall. He can still be part of
the briefing meeting with his briefs around his
ankles.
Also, I LOVE IT that a hobbit is the micro-managing
boss of CTU all of a sudden!

The best line from 24 tonight:
Spenser: I don't care if you are my boss, or if you
regret sleeping
with me last night. Nobody talks to me like that.
Chloe: Really? I just did.
Awww, snap! Chloe's not afraid to dish it out,
beeyotch!
I think we should compile a list of Choleisms and
make it into a
book. That would totally be a bestseller.

Hell yes! And how badass was Jack, stabbing his
would-be-assassin in the neck with a scissor!? I love
that Tony remained unconscious through that whole
scene. He was apparently lucid enough to tell someone
on the phone that he wanted to talk to Jack, but then
didn't even open his eyes while Jack was kung fu
fighting right next to his bed.

I don't think 24 is going to be happy until one
season they actually
just kill off the entire country.
It seems like every season there's more and more
casualties.
Eventually some kind of chemical something is going
to get out and
the entire country is going to die.
That's when Jack will start his job bartending in
another
country. ...If only President Palmer were still
alive. I could
TOTALLY see the two of them opening a bar together.
It'd combine the
names Palmer and Bauer and be Pauer. And they'd
call it the Pauer
Bar. Oh, if only FOX would hire me.

From: Leah
Have you sent this idea to FOX Joshy? How could they
say no!? And the Pauer Bar could still happen... the
First Brother, Wayne Palmer, lives! Wayne, Jack, and
Audrey could finally run away from the insanity of
working for the government and live happily ever after
in Fiji. Maybe Tony should go too, what is he going to
do now that Michelle is dead? Maybe Tony & Wayne could
hook up, that would be an exciting turn of events...
Did you watch "scenes from next week"? Who do you
think is hiding behind that bed?! It can't be Nina...
they've killed her a couple times now. Maybe Kim? Or
that brown haired badass girl who has been in about 3
episodes every season and has connections to every
terrorist organization in the known galaxy? I LOVE
24!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah, last night provided one of sneaky, yet tride and
true, methods of
making things tougher on 24: The personal
relationship.
It's not bad enough that the entire country is going
to die...but
your junkie sister needs money. Or your mother is
going to be
exposed to radiation. Or you daughter is mentally
unbalanced. Or
your ex wife wants revenge.
God bless you 24. Just when we think it can't get
any tougher, you
introduce a never-heard-of relative who needs a bone
marrow transplant
in the next 45 minutes, and Chloe is the only one
who can give it.
God bless you indeed!

So remember at the beginning of Quantum Leap, right after Sam had leapt, he'd realize what crazy pickle he was in this time and he's go "Ooh boy!" Well it seems like lately, just when Jack thinks he's caught a break, the person he's been trying to get to get's shot/kills themselves and Jack yells "DAMNIT!" It's his "Ooh boy!"
...Also, I was really hoping that Jack would do a fake Sean Connery accent to keep up the guise of him being that computer guy. That would have been WAY more fun.
And lastly, Jack was on The Late Late Show last night, and he was boring as all get out. I mean, I wanted to fall asleep (and not just because it was late). Now I understand why he drinks: he's a BORE otherwise.
Oh Jack.

It's his
"Ooh boy!"
I know. 24 would be so much better if they could
swear! It would especially make the interrogation
scenes more believeable: Where are the canisters you
dirty pig fucker?!
...Also, I was really hoping that Jack would do a
fake Sean Connery
Amen! They got off way too easy on that one, all he
had to do was grunt into the phone.
Now I understand why he
drinks: he's a BORE
otherwise.
Maybe he had a massive hangover and on the commercial
break he barfed all over Craig Ferguson (or whatever
that guy's name is). Let's just tell ourselves that to
make it more interesting...

Is it me or is President Logan doing a Nixon
impression more and more
each week? By the end of the day he's going to be
getting into a
chopper and giving the peace sign to CTU. Plus he
kinda looks like
him. Oh Logan, you cowardly dolt. Palmer never
would have been the
pussy that Logan is.
Also, the hobbit has officially gone power mad.
"Everyone report to
me! Send stuff to me! Don't go pee without asking
me! And if you
don't I'll lock you up with Buchanan! Haha! Even
Frodo can't stop me
now!"
Sigh. Oh 24. You're killing me!

Joshy-
You & Justin are on the same wavelength! Justin has
not been watching this season on tv (he's holding out
for a day long DVD marathon), but he watched with me
last night and asked if the president was supposed to
be Nixon! He totally has to retire, or get impeached
by the end of the day. I don't think they'll whack
him, 'cause two presidential deaths in one day would
be a bit much. I loathe President Logan, but I adore
the crazy ass First Lady more and more each week! How
badass is she, getting in that limo!?
I'm still waiting for Kim to come back, you know she's
going to bring a boatload of excitement with her...

So I can't sleep and I'm browsing around on
iTunes...
I found an iMix called "24 & Jack Bauer" and it has
songs like "24"
by Jem, "Somewhere a Clock is Ticking" by Snow
Patrol, "Clocks" by
Coldplay, "Everyone is Totally Insane" by the Dandy
Warhols, "I Spy"
by Guster, and "Hate to Say I Told You So" by the
Hives, among many
others.
Oh, if only 24 could really play those songs. Jack

Okay, so here's the deal with Jack and Co.:
First, Jack follows his lead to some Henderson guy
who works for the
company that made the gas. And it turns out that
Henderson used to
work at CTU and was the guy who recruited Jack, but
there was
suspicion that Henderson was a bad guy, so they
kicked him out.
Then, the Hobbit gets even more psycho, fires some
woman for no
reason, and yells at more people. When Chloe hears
NSA "chatter"
about a possible attack on the Russian limo (which
Logan OKed, if you
remember) Hobbit is all, "Don't worry about that!
Focus on the gas!
Don't inform secret service" In the end Audrey
convinces Curtis to
evoke section 112 which somehow lets him kick the
Hobbit out. The
Hobbit gets dragged off by security, Bill is let out
of holding, and
everything goes back to normal. Bill OKs letting
the secret service
know about the attack, just as it's starting, so a
limo gets blown
up, but the Russians and Mrs. Logan are okay - but
shaken. And since
the Russians are still alive the terrorists are all
"Too bad! So
sad! We're releasing the gas!" and Logan is all
"Aww, shit!"
Meanwhile, Henderson has to show Jack where the gas
was made in some
underground bunker at his company. Henderson
starts looking up
people who worked on the gas, only to realize that
they all died in
bizarre circumstances. So Henderson is all "Uh oh.
I'll be right
back." While he's gone Jack tries so phone CTU, but
the phones are
dead. That's when he realizes he's trapped in the
underground
bunker, and the clipboard Henderson left there with
him contains a
bomb. "How could I be so stupid!?" Jack yells out
loud. How indeed,
Jack. Jack manages to lift up some hollow floor
tiles and hide under
them when the bomb goes off, so he's okay. And now
we definitely
know this Henderson guy is up to no good.
Next week: Kim comes back!

What's Lynette Rice's (from Entertainment Weekly)
review of tonight's
episode of 24? I'm so glad you asked.
"The world is full of unnecessary objects: napkin
rings, tea cozies,
Jack Bauer's daughter, Kim. And yet that didn't
stop 24's producers
from asking Elisha Cuthbert to reprise her utterly
useless role.
Fortunately, there's more going on in these two
hours than Kim's
return - like First Lady Martha backhanding her
hubby for almost
getting her killed, the introduction of C. Thomas
Howell, and the sad
death of a series vet. Notice I said sad; that
means the damn blonde
survives. Kim Bauer: C Everyone else: A"
